Our latest work includes freelance travel stories about luxury diving in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador, the best new hotel of the year (so far) in Colombia, why you’ll want to linger around the border between Colombia and Ecuador plus Latin food coverage galore. Let’s get started.

The only reason to stop at most borders is to get your passport stamped and move on as quickly as possible.

Both are worth a visit, as we explain in our very first piece for the Atlas Obscura website.
